Where The White Women At? by Michael Davis – Straight No Chaser #301 | @MDWorld
Many in the GOP will not support the Violence Against Women Act. Their reasons vary, but among them is their objection to the bill covering illegal aliens and Native Americans.
Are the lives of the women who belong to those groups worth less than any other women?
No.
How anyone can vote against this bill is simply insane to me, but to vote against it because it includes those particular groups of women is just racist.
PERIOD.
I’m sure if the bill was renamed The Violence Against White Women Act, those opposed would vote for it quick, fast, and in a hurry.
THIS is the sort of shit that taints the Republican Party.
THIS is the sort of shit that makes it easy to tag the GOP as racist.
This is the sort of shit that underscores the notion that the GOP has a war against women.
I cannot STAND the Tea Party, but the women of the Tea Party should be as protected as the law allows from men who would do them harm.
ALL women should be protected, and if you don’t believe so, then clearly as a woman you are one dumb bitch, and as a man, you aren’t a man, you are a punk ass pussy.

The current GOP is adamant in opposing the Democrats in EVERYTHING.
No matter how bad they will look. No matter how silly they will look. Yes, it’s insane as shit, but they will even oppose programs to help disabled persons.
If the Dems supported human life on Earth, the GOP would campaign for global genocide. If the Dems discovered God, the GOP would become satanists. If the Dems capaigned for an anti-Nazi law, the GOP would suddenly celebrate Adolf Hitler.
There is nothing they wouldn’t do to oppose the Dems. Nothing.

Rene — Yeah, and the hard-core Democrats are equally as intransigent as the hard-core GOP. That’s exactly why Congress never gets anything done, and why their approval rating is probably lower than Vlad the Impaler’s.
I say kick all of the bums out.

Geez! I just had an ephiphany as to exactly why the Democrats’ version of “helping” the economy bugs me so much.
It’s exactly like the Medieval doctor who honestly thought, because he was taught by the best medical experts of that era, that bloodletting would would help the patient, not kill him/her. It didn’t matter if the patient was the king, other royalty, or senior church officials — the bad advice and treatment was given to all.
Ditto for “medicinal mercury.” Both the Chinese and Europen doctors used such “helpful” treatments for hundreds of years.
And as with those receiving such quack medicinal treatments of yore, today’s economy patient (us) would probably be better off in most cases with no treatment by Democratic economic “experts” at all.

Russ – I have a funnier analogy.
The way Republicans and other economic fundamentalists of the Supply-side religion see things is rather like someone used to building little doghouses suddenly trying to apply the same principles to building a skyscraper.
What is common sense in the small scale, for individuals and households (cut costs when you have debt, cut corners, etc.), doesn’t hold for things like a country. The skyscraper built on doghouse principles will fall. And will kill a lot of people.

I think Rene is once again right on the money. If they called it “The Violence Against White Women Act” and it was introduced by the Democratic Party, and/or it was endorsed by President Obama, the Republicans would be against it.
Therefore, I propose a Democrat introduces The Violence Against Republicans Act. I just want to see the knee-jerk idiots vote against it.

Why is there a Violence Against Women Act? Isn’t that already illegal? Isn’t it called assault? What is the point of making something already illegal, extra illegal, based on someone’s gender?
I certainly do not condone violence against women… or men… or animals… or any sub-category of those groups based on sexual preference, race, nationality or country of origin. It’s all assault and it’s all illegal.
Whoever did what was done to the woman in the photo accompanying this column should be prosecuted and that would be true regardless of whose picture it was.
It sounds like the designation, “hate crime”, which is also unnecessary. I wish legislators would work on problems that do not already have solutions instead of making laws that seem designed to give them an undeserved sense of moral superiority.
February 9th, 2013 at 12:37 pm
Perhaps because the current solutions have not been effective enough, George?
I also don’t agree that it’s “all assault”. Violence against women is a special kind of evil, for me. And not because of old-style notions of chivalry, or the gender of the victim, but the usual circunstances of said violence. When the violence happens in the context of a relationship, and something that should be beautiful is twisted into something horrible, and the victim has difficulty walking out of reach of the aggressor, and is often subjected to repeated assaults, then yes, I think those bastards deserve extra punishment.
And don’t worry, by fighting against this, the GOP already is making a great job of giving the Dems good press and a sense of moral superiority. If it’s political results you’re worried about, the Dems win either way. But this way, the GOP loses too and perpetuates the idea that they’re against women, gays, Latinos, and Native-Americans. Nice play, champs!
The only people the GOP seems worried about is their narrow base of support. Libertarian-minded folks like you that thing big government and more laws is always a bad thing. If the Act doesn’t get approved it’s another “victory” for you guys. A few more victories like this will finish you guys’ image for good.

The Right and the Left can learn a lot from MDW. At least here we listen to each other’s point of view with respect even if we don’t always agree we give each other respect.

MOTU — Not always respectful? Fuck you!
February 11th, 2013 at 3:34 am
Mike,
Fuck me? You wouldn’t like it, I’d just lay there.
February 11th, 2013 at 8:02 am
MOTU — Which side up?
February 12th, 2013 at 12:46 am
How can I say this? I know, ugh.
